Answer:

\| \vec v\| = 0.836\,\frac{m}{s}, \alpha = 71.577^{\textdegree} (Northeast)

Explanation:

Let consider that owner has the resultant direction of the momentums from the dog and the cat. First, the momentum of the owner is:

\|\vec p \| = \sqrt{\left[(27.4\,kg)\cdot \left(2.19\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\right]^{2}+\left[(7.19\,kg)\cdot \left(2.78\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\right]^{2}}

\|\vec p \| = 63.248\,kg\cdot \frac{m}{s}

The speed of the owner is:

\|\vec v \| = \frac{63.248\,kg\cdot \frac{m}{s}}{75.7\,kg}

\| \vec v\| = 0.836\,\frac{m}{s}

Lastly, the direction of the owner is:

\alpha = \tan^{-1}\left[\frac{(27.4\,kg)\cdot \left(2.19\,\frac{m}{s} \right)}{(7.19\,kg)\cdot \left(2.78\,\frac{m}{s} \right)} \right]

\alpha = 71.577^{\textdegree} (Northeast)

Alik [6]

Answer:

17.4 cm

Explanation:

Power of lens = +1.75 diopters

Focal length of lens

f=\frac{100}{1.75}=\frac{400}{7}

This is a convex lens as focal the diopter given is positive which makes the focal length positive. Image distance will be negative.

v = -25

\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{-25}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{\frac{400}{7}}\\\Rightarrow -\frac{1}{u}=\frac{7}{400}+\frac{1}{25}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{u}=-\frac{7}{400}-\frac{1}{25}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{u}=-0.0575\\\Rightarrow u=-17.4\ cm

∴ The new near point is 17.4 cm

A 100 kg bag of sand has a weight on 100 N. When dropped its acceleration is what?
Lyrx [107]
100N describes the weight of the sandbag, while 100kg is the mass of the sandbag.

To calculate acceleration, divide your weight by the mass, thus the accleration is:

100N/100kg = 1(m/s^2)

A satellite with a mass of 2,000 ㎏ is inserted into an orbit that is twice the Earth' s radius. W hat is the force of gravity on
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

option (b) 4900 N

Explanation:

m = 2000 kg, R = 6380 km = 6380 x 10^3 m, Me = 5.98 x 10^24 kg, h = R

F = G Me x m / (R + h)^2

F = G Me x m / 2R^2

F = 6.67 x 10^-11 x 5.98 x 10^24 x 2000 / (2 x 6380 x 10^3)^2

F = 4900 N

A long straight wire carries a conventional current of 0.7 A. What is the approximate magnitude of the magnetic field at a locat
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

2.64 x 10⁻⁶T

Explanation:

The magnitude of the magnetic field produced by a long straight wire carrying current is given by Biot-Savart law as follows: "The magnetic field strength is directly proportional to the current on the wire and inversely proportional to the distance from the wire". This can be written mathematically as;

B = (μ₀ I) / (2π r)                ----------------(i)

B is magnetic field

I is current through the wire

r is the distance from the wire

μ₀  is the magnetic constant = 4π x 10⁻⁷Hm⁻¹

From the question;

I = 0.7A

r = 0.053m

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

B =  (4π x 10⁻⁷ x 0.7) / (2π x 0.053)

B = 2.64 x 10⁻⁶T

Therefore the approximate magnitude of the magnetic field at that location is 2.64 x 10⁻⁶T
